Agree. No whining from me re Santana. Just sayin'. Those other Dodger bloggers really whine about this, though. They need to let go almost as much as my father in law needs to let go of the Rams-to-St.Louis bit.

I just think that JMart seems not to have very intelligent ABs. He does get lots of walks, but I'd also like for him to hit with a bit of power since he's built like a brick shithouse and should be able to yank some out. And he continues to swing at a lot of bad pitches.

Broxton should have never been in to begin with. Period. 4 straight days of pitching/warming up to pitch before today, this is ALL ON TORRE. 4 run lead, Belisario had just thrown only 12 pitches in the 8th.

JMart is the least of our problems. Bullpen sucks. Big game Broxton gets stuck when th fastball doesn't blow people away. Aging veterans. A centerfielder who should be a captin this year but wants to pose instead.

I'm only upset at Brox for choking on the big stage, I know he's been misused and I know he's human. Even after that debacle of an inning, his numbers are good. Bottom line, the pen is bottom-heavy (pun intended, but that's not the point)

I blame Torre. Using Broxton for so many days, especially yesterday when the game was pretty much toast, drove him into a wall. It's one thing when Broxton shits his pants at the sight of Matt Stairs. It's another thing when Torre rides him all the way to the Bronx and back.

Also, we need to cut Sherrill loose before he starts blowing more games. I loved him last year, but I couldn't give a shit about last year. This is now, and right now he sucks something awful. Cut the dead weight and get somebody competent up. Like T-Slick. He's earned a spot in the 'pen much more than Sherrill.

I had a long day, and finding out about this loss has me plenty pissed.

somebody mentioned it in the game thread, but it would have been nice to have Kuo available more than 1 day in a row. I wish he wasnt so fragile. Still I would rather have him every 3rd day than not at all
